HONDACB500E 2002 - 2003

　　The Honda CB500E was a medium-sized motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1993 to 2003. The bike was part of the CB series in Honda's range, a series of motorcycles with different engine displacements known for their reliability and performance.

　　In 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CB500E, a naked machine in its last year of production that didn't feature any significant changes over its production years, except for graphics and color changes.

　　At the time of its first release in 1993, Honda's engineers claimed that the 499cc engine was designated to last for 300,000 km (186,000 miles). One motorcycle was tested by Moto Revue from 1993 through 1996 and dismantled at 50,000 km (31,000 miles), and the engine was in perfect condition.

　　At 100,000 km (62,000 miles), only the cam chain and piston were replaced, but other than that, in the tester's opinion, the bike could have run with the original parts for longer without any problems.

　　In addition, the 2003 model came fitted with standard features, such as cast aluminum wheels, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a black-finished steel frame, a round headlight with a chromed housing, an analog instrument panel, and a completely blacked-out exhaust system.

　　As for the power figures, the 2003 Honda CB500E packed the same specifications as its predecessors, with a 499cc four-stroke parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine fitted with two Keihin carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 58 hp at 9,500 rpm and 47 Nm ( 32 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
